Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for operating a holographic projection device, the holographic projection device comprising an image display and a plurality of reflective projection panels, the plurality of reflective projection panels intersecting one another at an vertex, and the method comprising: receiving projection coordinates of the vertex on the image display; receiving a vector connecting coordinates of an image center of the image display and the projection coordinates of the vertex; and shifting a plurality of images displayed on the image display according to the vector to project the plurality of images onto the plurality of reflective projection panels to form a holographic image.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining if the projection coordinates of the vertex substantially overlap with the coordinates of the image center; wherein if the projection coordinates of the vertex do not substantially overlap with the coordinates of the image center, the plurality of images are shifted according to the vector.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the holographic projection device further comprises a position sensing module configured to receive the projection coordinates of the vertex on the image display.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the position sensing module comprises a plurality of image sensors.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the position sensing module comprises a touch sensor.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: increasing a distance between each of the plurality of images and the projection coordinates of the vertex to increase a distance between the holographic image and the image display.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: decreasing a distance between each of the plurality of images and the projection coordinates of the vertex to decrease a distance between the holographic image and the image display.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: rotating the plurality of images with respect to the projection coordinates of the vertex on the image display.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image center is a geographic center of the image display.
10. A holographic projection device, comprising: a plurality of reflective projection panels intersecting one another at an vertex; an image display configured to project a plurality of images onto the plurality of reflective projection panels; a position sensing module configured to detect projection coordinates of the vertex on the image display; and a processor configured to receive a vector connecting coordinates of an image center of the image display and the projection coordinates of the vertex, and shift the plurality of images displayed on the image display according to the vector to project the plurality of images onto the plurality of reflective projection panels to form a holographic image.
11. The holographic projection device of claim 10 , wherein the position sensing module comprises a plurality of image sensors.
12. The holographic projection device of claim 10 , wherein the position sensing module comprises a touch sensor.
13. The holographic projection device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to increase a distance between each of the plurality of images and the projection coordinates of the vertex to increase a distance between the holographic image and the image display.
14. The holographic projection device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to decrease a distance between each of the plurality of images and the projection coordinates of the vertex to decrease a distance between the holographic image and the image display.
15. The holographic projection device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to rotate the plurality of images with respect to the projection coordinates of the vertex on the image display.
